This man is amazing. Thank you Cory for the attention and care you provided my mom and assisting in capturing her legacy. Highly recommended.

Cory did a great job leading us and preparing a documentary of our father Bernard’s life story. The final product is professional, easy to follow, clear and gives our entire family a permanent record of our father’s life. Thank you Cory.

We recently worked with Cory Bretz to digitize our family history film which I did with Cory 10 years ago. Since then, the technology has changed so Cory made individual flash drives for each member of the family. At the end, I recorded blessings for each of them which was very emotional for me and, I hope for our children and grandchildren when they see them. Cory was organized, prompt and very encouraging to work with. This is our legacy to our family and we couldn’t be happier. This was a deeply satisfying project thanks to Cory’s skills.

We are deeply thankful to Cory for working with us to preserve our mother’s personal story. He is patient, genuinely interested, and deeply curious, with a sincere commitment to bringing every part of her journey to Canada to light. Our mother felt truly heard, and it was an honor to have Cory become part of our family’s journey. We are proud to now share a digital legacy of her life with our family and future generations.

My family had a movie made by Heirloom Films. Cory did an absolutely incredible job! I would highly recommend him. He is professional and fortunately, we have an invaluable keepsake in our family for the generations to come. What a blessing! Thank you Cory.

I so loved how Cory was able to pull together all the different parts of my mother and father's story and weave it all together. It's been thrilling to give this book to my grandchildren, nieces and nephews. I think my mother would be proud!

Working with Cory and his special technique was an amazing experience. He went far beyond and we ended up finding out more information regarding what happened during the war with my father. Cory is quite the historian! And such love and care he gave my dearly departed mother. With his help she was able to tell her life story! I would highly recommend him and his crew. He also did a fantastic job with my uncle in telling his story. One of a kind man!

My mum and dad were both so happy because they got to contribute their own writings. The finished book is absolutely gorgeous. We mailed it out to family members all over the world! It was easy to work with Cory. 

I'm leaving my video for my grandchildren so they know about their family. Cory was just terrific because he asked questions that brought the best out of me. He is very good at interviewing.

I am so happy to have gotten my book done. I gave each of my kids and grandkids their own copy. Our book is special because it is a tribute to my husband Ken who has already passed on. With this book, we will both be in the lives of our great grandkids! Thanks Heirloom Films & Storybooks!

My dad means a lot to me. But my busy life means I can’t spend enough time with him to hear all his stories. Remembering all the details is even more difficult. Heirloom Films made a great film about my dad so now I will always have him, as close as my TV set.

I just wanted my grandchildren to have something special to remember me by. Besides, I’ve seen things that they could only dream of! Making my family movie with Cory put all this interesting stuff in one place and now they can easily watch it, rather than rummage through all my files and boxes.

I have dedicated my whole life to helping others. Even after I’m gone my life story family history film will be sharing what I have learned with my grandchildren. That makes me feel useful, forever!

When I was inducted into the Soccer Hall of Fame, my daughter wanted to know more about my soccer days. She was very busy, so she hired Cory Bretz. We spent several mornings together, and I talked about everything from my life and my family. He even filmed my medals, trophies, and newspaper clippings.

I really enjoyed making my film with Cory. He just asked questions and listened most of the time. Once he had put the photos in and did some editing and narration, my film was so beautiful.

When my wife became too ill to talk, I was the only one who could pass on the story of her life and her family history. It was very easy to talk to Cory Bretz in front of the camera. He put in photos of her and some lovely music. It’s the best way to pass on to our grandchildren what kind of a women my wife was.

My family history film contains all my most important photos, along with the stories that go with them. My grandkids are going to love it!

I made my family movie with Heirloom Films because passing on our family history is very important to me. There's so much my kids didn't know about their family and I want to make sure they have the information. Plus I love giving them advice and my film is full of that!

I’m so glad my story is preserved for my grandson to hear someday when he’s older. Heirloom Films did a great job!

Telling my daughter how much I loved her in my film made me feel so relieved because she will always know she is loved. We also used my husband’s beautiful paintings and art as imagery in my film. It’s the best memorial to him ever.

I loved that I got to include in my life story family history film a lesson of me showing my great grandchildren how to knit. I also passed on my favourite recipes. These are important life skills! 

There are events from my life that I had never told anyone. But I think my grand kids could learn something from the things that happened to me. So when Cory and I were together with the video camera...I shared those things. Now my grand kids know everything. I feel very proud. 

I'd been wanting to give something to each of my six grandchildren that actually meant something. Giving them a movie with my story and my husband's will always remind them who they come from and that they are deeply loved.
